POR15 or Rust Bullet

iamthewheelman · October 19th, 2011, 09:08 AM

I have done some reaserch but as always different people always say different things. So I am entrusting the opinions of TOP to make my final decision on which rust inhibitor to use. I am only doing an small section of the body tha is visible, and then coating the entire back side of both quarter pannels for extra protection. POR15 seems to be alot more popular but Albert (sumranomguy) recomended the Rust Bullet and it has appeared to do an excellent job on his car. I am leaning towards the Rust Bullet but I can't get past the fact POR15 is so popular.

I have used POR15, and nothing else, it works great, but you have to remove all rust, get down to bare metal, then use there "wash" it leaves a zinc film on the bare metal, then you apply the POR15.... if you want to top coat it, you have to get another product to apply on top of that, which i havent used...

I did the undercarriage of my 68 Camaro in this stuff, it works amazing....

I tested the POR15 first because i was not convinced it would work, so in a steel soup can, i painted the inside with with POR15, then let it dry, then i put some salt and water in it let it rest for about a month, and voila,... no rust inside the STEEL soup can... you probbably think im crazy, but i spent alot of money on my car, so i only wanted the best...

This is the biggest reason I want to use Rust Bullet, I have seen it for myself, thought it seems that both are very capable.....

Driver side quater pannel, Rust Bullet.... Passengers side, POR15

Just for the reccord I went with the Rust Bullet, its really simple to use and goes on great. I will give a review of how it holds up after the winter months.
